Our big brother is voting today for a new leader who is going to win the race?

[Chris Webb MP @ChrisWebbMP]

Last night, as I was returning to my flat in London, I was attacked and mugged by a group of individuals.

Luckily, I have no injuries and I am ok. Unfortunately, they just took my phone so I’m without one for the foreseeable future.

I want to thank the @metpoliceuk for their swift response and support. The officers who assisted me went above and beyond. They are a remarkable credit to the force.

If you need to reach me, please contact my office on 01253 532 401. Thank you.

@EricLDaugh Hahahahaha. This "polling" firm, Data Orbital, is owned by the son of Kari Lake's campaign treasurer. Folks, you're getting played so you'll claim the election was stolen. No polls for months have show Lake within striking distance of Gallego. Even Fox says she's 7 pts down!

[Damin Toell @damintoell]

This polling firm, Data Orbital, is run by George Khalaf. His father, Youssef Khalaf, is Kari Lake's Senate campaign treasurer.

BREAKING: Trump only winning by 5

In KANSAS.

A red state he carried by 20 points in 2016 and 15 points in 2020.

If Trump’s margin is only 5 in Kansas — he is LOSING in Georgia, North Carolina, Nevada, and Arizona.

And Florida. And Texas.

Today, I take the fight to save @ZoesPlaceLiv back to Parliament.
Following my Parliamentary motion last week, today I present my bill to Govt urging a review of funding for Children’s Hospices, which should never face closure due to reliance on charity.

Did you know that the symptoms of a heart attack can present differently in women?

Women are 50% more likely to be misdiagnosed when having a heart attack, often with deadly consequences.

It is crucial that everyone knows the vast array of heart attack symptoms.

🚨🚨BREAKING NEWS 🚨🚨Stephen Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) is heading to prison after pleading guilty to breaking a 2021 High Court order. This case came to court because the @hopenothate team compiled a dossier of evidence proving he was involved in the release of Silenced.

It was as a result of our dossier that Contempt of Court charges were laid on Lennon.

Today's verdict was the culmination of three years hard work and goes some way to delivering justice for Jamal Hijazi.

A huge shout out to the whole @hopenothate team 🙌🙌🙌
